The Defeated Dragon

That night, Liszt hosted a banquet for his friends at Tulip Castle, a total of fifteen people. They are all descendants of knights who cannot be knighted, or apprentice knights who are studying at the Knight Academy.

Among them, the two earth knights who attracted Liszt's attention the most were Rick Footsteps, who had said that he would follow him in the noble manor, and Griffin Haystack, who was born as an orphan.

Griffin's vindictive attribute is Lei. He has just turned twenty, and his combat effectiveness is not bad. The only flaw is his stuttering.

Aristocrats pay attention to appearance, but also pay attention to body shape. They can be ugly but not disabled. Stuttering is classified as a kind of disability. Therefore, Griffin was not selected into the Knights of Coral City, and he was sad for a long time. Remembering Liszt's predecessor, he also laughed at Griffin.

But later he found that Griffin was nice and honest, and he gradually developed a sense of sympathy. Of course, maybe he hoped to have a disabled person by his side to set off himself.

Now Liszt is very satisfied with Griffin.

He has a simple and honest personality, endures hardships and stands hard work, and regards himself as a confidant. It can be said that he is a very suitable follower candidate, and his loyalty is guaranteed.

Except for Rick and Griffin, the rest are apprentice knights.

It may be enough to be an official, but it is not enough to enter the knight squad.

Counting it up, Marcus, Russell, Rondo, Rick, and Griffin, I already have five members of the Cavaliers team, and if I add seven more, I can build a team. Liszt was drinking too much. After talking to my friends, I went back to the room where I lived for more than ten years, thinking quietly.

The knights take the squad as the unit, and can practice the method of joint attack, mix the grudges, and roll them into one strand.

Only with a team of knights can he be qualified to go to the battlefield. As for Liszt himself, his safety can be entrusted to Dou Sen, and the hired Paris believes in the strength of one person and one dog, even if he is really chased by the Juggernaut If you fight, you can escape.

Besides, I'm the earl's son, so I must do the logistical work!

Levi's can go to the battlefield to do logistics, of course he can't lose to Levi's, the logistics must be taken over.

...

The second day is the celebration banquet.

All the nobles from far and near Coral Island came to Tulip Fort, together with the servants they brought, the whole Tulip Fort was as noisy as a vegetable market.

Members of the Knights who participated in the battle,

Those who do not have a title and are sure that they will not get a title this time, after receiving their gold coin rewards, go directly to each family to find their mothers.

There are seven untitled knights left.

The seven of them are the knights who have made great achievements this time, and they can be awarded the title of Lord Knight. The whole person is in great joy, and they can't wait for the knighting ceremony to come soon.

In fact, there are three knights who can be knighted, but those three knights belong to the followers of the two viscounts and cannot come to the celebration banquet hosted by the count.

At the moment Tulip Fort, there are three viscounts Trike Humulus, Jonas Broken Stone, and Levi's Tulip.

Sixteen barons, including Lister Tulip; seventy-six lord knights, with seven new promotions, made eighty-three.

If I remember correctly, the Earl used to have eighty-two Lord Knights. It seems that six Lord Knights were killed on the battlefield this time.

The sacrifice of a knight is normal, and the death of a lord knight is not uncommon. The death of barons and above nobles will become less and less. Everyone is the lord, responsible for commanding the followers and knights to fight. Of course, the dangerous charge is for the followers to fight desperately, and the lord cannot take the lead in charging.

Just like Liszt, he never planned to include himself in forming a knight squad.

He has his own reasons for not participating in the war. After riding on Dou Sen, he is the presence of the ground: With me here, don't panic, charge me!

It is said that there are two types of leadership charisma: follow me and follow me.

The leader who follows me can win the support and love of his subordinates, thus exerting great combat power; but Liszt still chooses to join me, can the life of a mud leg compare with the life of a nobleman! The leaders who follow me are often engraved on the monument, and the leaders who follow me are always your leaders!

Actually, this statement is not rigorous. Lords should be divided into three types.

The first type, everyone joins me, and the benefits are shared together; the second type, everyone contributes to me, and the benefits are shared together; the third type, everyone contributes to me, and the benefits belong to me.

I want to be the third type of lord the most, but let's do the second type first.

...

The knighting ceremony before the celebration banquet was very lively. The seven new knights held the medals that symbolized the knighthood of the knights, and tears filled their eyes.

There is a huge gap between commoners and nobles, and it often takes several generations of efforts to realize it.

But once you have a title, even if you die in battle, your descendants will inherit the title. It is a hereditary and unshakable nobility. Unless you have no heirs after death, or you have made a big mistake, the title of nobility is rarely deprived.

I swore to serve my lord to the death!

The seven knights of the Lord, kneeling on one knee, solemnly performed the standard knight allegiance etiquette to the earl.

The earl sat on the throne, accepted it calmly, and said some words of encouragement and warning, roughly meaning that he hoped that he could serve me wholeheartedly in the future. I can give you titles, and I can take back your titles. Keep a humble attitude and abide by the virtues of knights , don't disappoint me.

After the knighting ceremony, the atmosphere directly reached its climax.

Lords and knights drink and brag downstairs, barons, viscounts and earls drink and brag upstairs. Regardless of whether they participated in the war or did not participate in the war, they were all drinking to their heart's content.

Liszt was still not used to such an overly lively banquet, and fell into a state of reticence again. Only when others raised their glasses to toast, did he hold up his glass and extol each other a few words. The current Liszt is not just the earl's useless son, but a rising future viscount.

Even Baron Henderson, who scolded Liszt for being greedy in the territory, took the opportunity to put on a flattering smile and toast to Liszt instead of complaining to the earl.

Baron Liszt, I wish the Flower Town a prosperous business.

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, Liszt simply responded: I also wish your territory a prosperous business.

Baron Henderson wanted to say something more, but he opened his mouth and didn't say anything. He just drank his wine glass, smiled flatteringly, and returned to his seat.

The most watched young generation at the dinner.

It wasn't Liszt, it was his brother Levi's.

This time on the battlefield, although Levi was in charge of logistics, he saw blood and killed people, and he had become a qualified heir in the eyes of the earl's followers. When the earl was too majestic and only touched his lips when drinking, the followers naturally focused their firepower on Levi's.

Liszt can only be regarded as being affected by firepower.

But no matter how silent he was, trying to be a little transparent, he would still be drunk by the end of the celebration banquet.

When being helped to bed by the servants to sleep, there was only one thought in his drowsy mind: Sooner or later, I will become an earl. I am the only one who persuades others to drink, and no one dares to persuade me to drink!
